Current Knitting

One of the funny things about being a knitter, is how many projects the Viscount has going at one time. He currently has two different pairs of socks on the needles, is planning a sweater, and is working with the Chevalier on some knitwear designs for a new collection. In the midst of all of this, he ran into a new local yarn shop and fell in love with the place. The shop is called Fiber Art Inc. and is hardly the industrial sounding place its name implies. The shop is divided into different themed rooms. Living with a designer, the Viscount was particularly impressed by the variety of specialty yarns. The Viscount wanted to buy the silver yarn to make socks for go-go chrome high-heeled sandals. But, stayed his impulses and bought some nice Noro sock yarn and some fuzzy shiny silver, olive, and grey mohair that would go well with the Chevalier's upcoming disco meets the sea collection.

Perhaps the nicest part of the experience was the overall warm welcome the Viscount received in the store from those working their and the knitters who just happened to be present. It is unusual for a man to knit and he is often received oddly in knitting stores. Not so at Fiber Art Inc. The Viscount almost whipped out his needles and began working.
